Silent Hill 2 is one of the best horror games of all time, and Bloober Team did a remarkable job with the 2024 remake – the only issue is that it’s exclusive to the PlayStation 5 on consoles. However, that changes this week, as the exclusivity deal comes to an end on October 8, exactly one year after Konami released the game. So, what does this mean? If you ask me, it seems likely that a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Silent Hill 2 is imminent, along with an Xbox release.
For a year now, I’ve longed for a Silent Hill 2 Switch port, and the arrival of the new hardware makes it more feasible than ever after October 8. The absence of Silent Hill Switch games is mind-boggling, as games like Resident Evil work just fine on Nintendo’s systems, and knowing that the new Resident Evil game, Requiem, is a day-one release on the Switch 2 indicates that the console is more than capable of running SH2.
On Reddit, user PracticalSubstance99 created a thread, sharing that the Silent Hill 2 remake’s page on Bloober Team’s website looks different. To be more specific, the art for the game appears to have space for two more platform slots, which could indicate that an announcement for Switch 2 and Xbox ports is imminent. In fact, it’s possible that as soon as the exclusivity ends on October 8, Konami and Bloober will announce the additional platforms.
